I’ve been lobbying CODE to locate one of these workshops in Antigua and Barbuda since I first learned about them so, yay, for this. And looking forward to the opportunity to facilitate. In other me and CODE news, my book – you know the one that placed second for the Burt Award – Musical Youth – yeah, that one, it’s dropping soon. And I couldn’t be happier. I’m planning a reading event with CODE for the Friday before the workshops so you’ll be able to get a teaser of the book. Looking forward to all of it. Here’s the cover, with art work by Antigua and Barbuda’s own Glenroy Aaron. Sweet, right?

How do I register? Deadline is tomorrow. I tried to download the information for the adults workshop but it failed. Can you please provide additional information? Thank you.
Apologies, Rebecca, I’m not sure why that’s happening. I’m copying the text of the adult workshop press release (as written in the attachment) below:
Author Joanne C. Hillhouse will facilitate a workshop for writers interested in teen and Young Adult Literature.
Where: The Heritage Hotel, Heritage Quay, St. John’s, Antigua
When: November 22-23, 2014
The workshop, organized by CODE — a Canadian NGO which has been advancing literacy and learning around the world for 55 years — is open to
writers, writing enthusiasts and hopefuls in Antigua and Barbuda, and the eastern Caribbean.
If interested in participating, writers should send their name, address and phone number, along with a one-page sample of their writing to
burtaward@codecan.org by Nov. 11, 2014. There will be a teen stream open to young writers and one for adult writers with an interest in writing
for teens and young adults.
Offered as part of CODE’s Burt Award for Caribbean Literature — which aims to provide Caribbean youth with access to books they will enjoy and
want to read — the workshops are intended to help emerging or established writers of books for teens or young adults develop their skills, deepen their
understanding of writing strategies appropriate for this age group, and encourage them to submit their work for consideration for the Award.
Hillhouse is the founder of the Wadadli Youth Pen Prize and author of books like The Boy from Willow Bend, Dancing Nude in the Moonlight, Oh Gad! and
the forthcoming Musical Youth, which placed second in the 2014 Burt Award for Caribbean Literature.
The inaugural edition of the Award was won by Jamaica’s A-dZiko Gegele for her novel All over Again; fellow Jamaican Colleen Smith-Dennis placed third
with Inner City Girl.
